Hi
this is my 1st big project so i tought i might as well post it on here.
the bike is a 1994 rvf 400 nc35 which i bought from ebay.
The bike was a track bike and i wanted to change it back to road use so here is the following things i have done and i have to do

i have done
new irs gold x ring chain and sprokets
new clutch cable
full service (oil-filter-plugs)
valve clearence
new front fork seals, dust seals and oil
new front wheel bearings and dust seals
replaced rear sets with original honda ones ( had racing set on)
new HEL braided brake carbon look with black stealth banjo's front and back
new HH brake pads front and back
changed the carbs and choke cable ( reason for this the connection on the carbs were the choke cable connects was broken)
new top and bottom steering head bearings with new top and bottom dust seals

will change
throttel cable ( its on the way)
rear brake lights (dont have to but i have some small led ones)
rear led indicator lights ( i have)
mirrors with led indicators (i have)
full set of carbon fairings (should come 2day)
full tyga shotgun exhaust ( should come 2day) ( it has a full scorpion exhaust aparently)
carbon look clutch and brake leavers (i have)
carbon look bar ends (on the way)
grey pro bolt fairing and screen bolts
powder coat wheels ( not sure on color yet but most prob black)
new jets for exhaust (gavin is sorting this out for me)

Sounds like your credit card has copped a hammering lately
Can't wait to see what the carbon fairings look like. What brand are they and how much did they set you back?
Good luck with the re-build, can't wait to see the photos.

[code2006]

All the carbon stuff ex the top yoke and speedo panel one and the exhaust all from tyga set me back £2300 lol
But it's worth this. This bike is for keeps

Your c card certainly has taken a beating, The carbon will look luvely, dont spoil it with carbon look kit like levers and bar ends.

As for wheels, HRC gold

Nice project! I really would like to see the outcome with those carbon fairings and stuff for which you have traded your CC in!

[Gavin jap4]

cant wait to see it and add the photos to our customers bike section

[code2006]

Well the carbon stuff came 2day but will try and get them fitted to the bike 2moro. I only took the front fender put and it looks sick :)

Gavin thanks a lot for the stuff.
Will be posting pics soon but for your site maybe wait till my wheels r done or change them once I upload new pics with my wheels done?

Ok I now need to find a dyno place in Romford/Essex , a pic of hrc gold wheels and if I like it maybe the paint code for it for a place to powder coat them?

[code2006]

Ok after months of small and big problems my bike is nearly done

Here r some pics of it so far

Rear seat unit is not bolted down just yet.
Need 2 change my grips (got them)
Waiting for 4x 112 main jets from david silver spares
Powder coat wheels ( black, gold or chromed ?)
And put the other few carbon bits on but after the bike is finished

Note the mirrors r carbon look with led indicators but might look for some Black ones with led or paint them black

[LUCAS]

OMG those carbon fibre panels are awesome!!! Bike is looking great. I would maybe go with gold wheels.... but could see black suiting it...

How did the fairing and rear seat unit fit? Just that i was thinking of getting the original shape Tyga fairings.

[micpec]

That carbon kit looks very nice and matches well with the carbon twinstack system! But no to keen on the current combo with aftermarket mirrors with led indicators, dark screen, the rear small indicators and the bright coloured wheels. Fresh owdercoated wheels in black or gold would be lovely.
